No single market without 4 freedoms. Question about Ireland common travel area and external borders (and Barnier is an expert on this as he was heavily involved in the Good Friday Agreement).

Legally new agreement can't be negotiated and finalised until the UK has left. New deal has to be made with UK as a third country.
Again... most people with an understanding of law have been saying this for months. But no, of course they were talking out of their backsides. |

Transitional agreement and paying a fee for single market access only possible as a path to new relationship. Can't be decided until the UK has left.
Access to single market would be modelled on existing models. The special status countries (Norway etc.) would have a say. |

yep, made me laugh as well. the very same unified EU that has had some countries building physical borders, to prevent movement of people, which is one of the 4 'freedoms'.

This was the first official statement from either side as to how things will work after A 50 being triggered. It was officially laying on the table the EU's cards. |

Interesting isn't it EU are able to communicate their stance. All done by October 2018 to allow time for it to go through European and UK Parliaments.

More from the press conference: Q: Article 50 negotiations are one thing. The new relationship is something different. Will you negotiate them in parallel, or in sequence? Barnier says the EU needs to hear what the UK wants. Then the EU 27 will react. He says a future agreement on a future relationship may be of a different nature. It could be signed with a third country. So these things cannot necessarily be done at the same time. He says you cannot do everything in 15 to 18 months of negotiations. We will have to do everything in the right order, he says. Barnier suggests EU will not be able to negotiate final trade deal with UK before it leaves. |

Surely that is a compliment for the EU. They have been entirely consistant in their position from the start. Its the UK flip flopping about like a load of retarded fish frogs.

Free movement of EU citizens hasn't been prevented. Still exists throughout the EU.

So what's French for 'thrice' anyway? And more importantly, would the translation be compatible with horse-related puns? This is what's really important, everything else is just bickering between people pretending they care about the voters - or 'voteurs' as may be the case.

Most interesting aspect was that Barnier said the European Council would lay out the guidelines on EU position once Art 50 triggered, yet May refuses to say anything and does not want Parliament involved in setting some of ours out.

It matters not that Mrs May says she is trying to get us the 'best deal', we have been told, no cherry picking, Four Freedoms are not up for negotiation, so Mrs May has to decide based on that does she not? |
